Been asked if I can clean the indoor play frame and equipment at a park few miles up the road. Obviously I said "yes" and have to go and quote in a week or so.

The main play frame is one of these multi floor jobbies made from scaffold type poles and covered in padded vinyl. It also has a ball pool and a couple of slides.

Is it going to be a "sponge and bucket" type job or is there a quicker/easier method to use?

Also, how do you price such a thing?

I never knew those things existed! Budget probably wouldn't stretch to buying one for a one off clean..

With regards to the rest of the frame is it just a matter of using a sponge and bucket?

Better off using a hand sprayer and a bale of cloths. Spray and wipe, discard cloth when dirty. Other wise you'll be cleaning with dirty water after a few minutes. Snots are the hardest to get off.

Steve is the font of all Knowledge. You'd think with a skill like that he'd support someone better than Sunderland.

Must of had a father that was emotionally devout to his team. Hard to break away from something like that.

[John Kelly]

To be fair it is his home town team and you should support them not some succesfull outfit 200 miles away.

Calmore,

I did one of those years ago after the drain pipes outside got bunged up and all the rain watrer came in.

Get someone to help you, its so much easier. I used Chemspecs sanitiser (cant think of its name at the mo) yep it is just spray and wipe down with a cloth, not a sponge, there is no other way really, Calmore its plastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take some bin liners along with you to put the clean balls in otherwise they are rolling around all over the place!

And get the local Environmental Health man to come down and check it for you, that way you know it will have been done properly.

You will probably have to do it out of normal hours unless they shut it down for you. Charge normal labour rate plus a bit, when I did ours there was me and 2 girls, took about 3 hours for general work, went back and did the carpet later.
